Nicolas Maduro Leads Agreement On Election Results Amid Opposition Boycott

Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro, along with seven other candidates, signed an agreement to respect upcoming July election results. However, the main opposition abstained, accusing the government of breaching a previous deal. The agreement, presented by the National Electoral Council (CNE), faced criticism for its perceived alignment with the ruling party.

Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro and seven other candidates for July elections on Thursday signed an agreement to respect the results, although the country's main opposition abstained, saying the government had already breached an existing deal.

The nine-point agreement was presented by the National Electoral Council (CNE), Venezuela's highest electoral authority which critics say is an extension of the ruling party.

Main opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzalez abstained from signing, as did Enrique Marquez.
